Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'tap and rack' drill for firearms?

The 'tap and rack' is an immediate action drill for semi-automatic pistols. When a 'click' occurs instead of a 'bang', you firmly tap the bottom of the magazine to ensure it's seated, then rack the slide to eject the faulty round and chamber a fresh one.

How can I safely practice firearm malfunctions?

Safely practice malfunctions by using a transparent magazine loaded with a mix of live ammunition and inert dummy rounds, as demonstrated in this video. This allows you to simulate failures and practice immediate action drills like 'tap and rack' without live fire risks.

What firearm is used in this malfunction drill?

The firearm used in this malfunction drill is a Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol. It's shown being loaded with a magazine containing both 9mm live rounds and blue plastic dummy rounds for training purposes.

What are dummy rounds used for in firearm training?

Dummy rounds, like the blue plastic ones shown, are inert training aids that simulate live ammunition. They are crucial for practicing malfunction clearance drills and immediate action procedures safely, as they will cause a 'click' instead of firing.
